The figure of the mentor to support new hires

Another important innovation, “already foreseen in the other contracts for public management, is the introduction of the figure of the ‘mentor’, i.e. an expert manager or professional who is called upon, on a voluntary basis, to support newly hired staff during the first months of service – underlined President Aran, Antonio Naddeo -. I am particularly pleased to point out that this contract has the signature of all the trade union organisations, unlike what happened for the renewal of the sector contract, with the failure to sign on the part of Uil Rua. We are ready – concludes Naddeo – to open the new 2022-2024 contractual round next week, on March 20, starting from the Healthcare sector, which concerns over half a million workers in the National Health Service”.

Valditara: “Attention sign”

“With this contract – declared the minister Giuseppe Valditara – we want to give a further signal of attention towards school leaders, who with their daily commitment represent a fundamental pillar of the world of school. Their valorization passes through the improvement of working conditions and also the economic aspect, elements that we have taken into strong consideration within this agreement. My goal is to restore prestige and authority to all school workers because the future of our country depends on them.”
